The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense cooperative horror experience where you and your team must stealthily explore eerie, liminal spaces to find and extract missing agents while avoiding deadly entities.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and visuals, but many say the enemy AI ruins the experience: monsters never give up chase, camp downed teammates, and spot you from across the map, making escape feel impossible. The objectives grow repetitive and the game is currently short on maps and content.
